~Goodbye Fall~

"I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure in the landscape - the loneliness of it - the dead feeling of winter. Something waits beneath it - the whole story doesn't show."- Andrew Wyeth

Gathering Leaves by Robert Frost

Spades take up leaves No better than spoons, And bags full of leaves Are light as balloons.

I make a great noise Of rustling all day Like rabbit and deer Running away.

But the mountains I raise Elude my embrace, Flowing over my arms And into my face.

I may load and unload Again and again Till I fill the whole shed, And what have I then?

Next to nothing for weight, And since they grew duller From contact with earth, Next to nothing for color.

Next to nothing for use. But a crop is a crop, And who's to say where The harvest shall stop?

About Me

Welcome to Que Bella, where I chat about all the things I love. Flea markets and yard sales are my favorite places to find treasures. I love scrapbooking, poetry, collaging & journaling. Oh, I so love to read. I don't think twice about spending hours at a bookstore or library. Time seems to fly by once I'm surrounded by books.
